Anthony Weir Biography

Now over 80, having lived my life entirely dissident, vasectomised, refusing to be employed, married, and to have anything to do with 'normality' (mostly in Northern Ireland) , I now live in a quiet part of a mediæval village in SW France, in receipt of an Allowance for the Impoverished Elderly (ASPA) . My house overlooks a beautiful sylvan glen with a small lake.

I exhibit my art-works locally, and have translated poems from other languages - see my website www.beyond-the-pale.uk. I also have a blog: dsdnt.blogspot.ie

The most common comment about my poems on PoemHunter is 'PROVOCATIVE' - which in Literary New-speak means 'shocking' or 'outrageous'. This is very satisfying.
